I'd suggest perhaps
A Room With a View. It's lighter, more positive, but also romantic - don't know whether that is a good or a bad thing
A Passage to India is very much about class and race, and might be tougher to read. 'Room' is also PD, so you can download it for free. There's also two short story collections;
The Celestial Omnibus and
The Eternal Moment (they're both in
Collected Short Stories). They would be worth considering, too - and long literary novel can bog you down - short stories may be easier to approach.
